I think in general people do, if you get a bf/gf here guarantee you will know all about their past relationships

Im in Sixth Form. I moved here with my parents 5 years ago to live.
No beaches all rocky shores, so that means no surfing :frown:

Oh wow. So how did your parents end up there? I can't imagine there's much of an economy. Do you enjoy it? Obviously the weather is great, but the lack of beaches makes the booze less useful.

My mum is from the island so we moved back as we bought a house here.
Nah not much economy though the island is currently having an airport being built here so that might help. Yeah its okay, i miss the big crowds though.
Yeah its currently winter but in summer we have temperatures around 30'c.
Booze sucks without the beaches but theres a lot of bars/pubs near the sea

What a coincidence, most of us live on an island in the North Atlantic Ocean.

I would've thought the weather would be awesome year round. So what do you do on a day to day basis?
